The Other Side of Pacifica Northwest
Summary:
When Pacifica suddenly changes her personality for what seems to be the better, Dipper becomes suspicious and Mabel is beyond happy for her new bestfriend. Not everything is what it seems here in Gravity Falls, and Dipper Pines is going to get to the bottom of it.
It was a fairly normal day in the Mystery Shack, it was a bright and sunny morning, the shop wasn't really busy at this time of day. Wendy was busy doing nothing at all for the mean time, Mabel was in the living gossiping with Candy and Grenda who came for some quality girl time. Dipper was busy reading a new page in the journal while reclining in the sofa. Grunkle Stan was busy counting his money in his office.
But a certain handy man was nowhere to be found.
Then all of a sudden Soos burst through the door panting heavily and sweating like crazy.
"Dudes! Dudes! I swear you would NOT believe what I just saw down town! It was crazy! I've never seen anything like it! I don't know if it was real or if it was just my imagination or-" Soos rambled on before Wendy interrupted him.
"Soos, calm down man. Take it easy before you faint"
Dipper and Mable went to see what all the commotion was all about along with Candy and Grenda.
"Hey Soos!" The twins said happily.
"Woah, what happened to you Soos? You look like you just ran a marathon!" Dipper exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Mable agreed.
Soos panted for awhile, catching his breath before heaving a sigh of relief.
"Dudes, you won't believe me unless you see it for yourselves!" Soos said. "Even I didn't think it was possible!" He exclaimed throwing his arms in the air.
"Okay Soos, just what could be so weird that we wouldn't believe it, we've seen weirder stuff than the average person every single day. We've fought monsters and solved mystery's that your average person wouldn't even be able to comprehend. I think we can handle almost anything.
"Well..." Soos started unsurely. "I guess, just don't freak out okay!"
"I think we can handle it Soos" Wendy reassured him folding her arms over her chest and smirking.
"Wooohooo! You hear that girls? I smell an adventure" Mable exclaimed pumping her fists in the air while Candy and Grenda cheered in excitement.
Shortly after arriving in town
They all stood there with a dumbfounded looks of their faces. Each shocked to see the spectacle before them.
None other than Pacifica Northwest, standing in the middle of the town in all her glory.
Her hair tied into a messy ponytail with two long strands of her hair hanging freely on the sides of her face. She was grinning madly, her silver braces shining against the light of the sun, strangely enough she wasn't wearing her usual fancy clothes, she wore a neon green T-shirt with a big star in the middle surrounded by several smaller stars of different colors which made her stand out even more than usual, she wore a pink skirt with black cycling shorts underneath, with black and white sneakers accompanied by purple leg warmers.
Everyone who saw Pacifica casually strolling down the streets had their mouths hanging wide open in disbelief, stopping everything they were doing just so they could stare at her.
Pacifica didn't even seem to notice, she was busy looking for something. Peeking behind the mailbox, occasionally stopping to jump in a puddle. She asked nearby people if they saw a chicken anywhere. But she was met with silence, this bothered her a little bit but it didn't discourage her. She thanked them anyways for their time and went back to her search.
"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Wendy asked, her gaze never leaving the new Pacifica.
"If I say yes then I think I've already gone crazy" Dipper replied.
Candy and Grenda just stood there in silence, Mabel had a look of pure excitement on her face.
"Well I'm seein it! And boy am I loving it!" Mabel said before bouncing over to the new Pacifica.
"Hey Pacifica!" She greeted loudly.
Pacifica turned around with a smile.
"Heya Ma-" She stopped in the middle of her sentence and quickly stepped back from Mabel with a look of fear. "Hey!" She said trying to sound as calm as possible. She quickly went back to her bubbly personality. "I didn't recognize you there for a second Mabel, what with your clothes and all, speaking of which I've never seen you in normal clothes before? Especially without your headband" She explained.
"Whaaaaa-"
"OH! speaking of which. . . . Have you seen Cluckless anywhere? I kinda got separated from Gideon. . . ." She told her blushing in embarassment a bit.
"Gideon?" Mabel wondered out loud. Wasn't he in jail or something?
"Nevermind! Thanks anyways, I'll just go ask Robbie, heh, the guy's probably gonna scold me for being irresponsible again, he all like' 'How many time have I told you not to go into the forest with Gideon all by yourselves? Don't you know how dangerous it is? And didn't I tell you to stop picking up random things! Why don't you just sit down and read a book for once, here I'll lend you one from my collection" Pacifica finished in a mocking tone.
"Okay, that doesn't sound like Robbie at all!" Dipper pointed out. What is up with Pacifica today? Her attitude did a total 360! And what's with her explanation of Robbie? That is totally the complete opposite of the gloomy goth they new, it actually sounded like Robbie was a little uptight? He had to find out what was going on, but it seemed like Wendy already beat him to it.
Wendy walked over to Pacifica with her arms crossed and with a stern expression. "Is this true?" She asked her.
"Huh? Oh yeah! Robbie doesn't even like going out on holidays, all he does is work, work, work, work, he reaaalllly needs to get out more! Here see for yourself" She stuck her hand into the pocket of her skirt and started rummaging inside, she pulled out her wallet and showed Wendy a picture of her, Robbie, and Gideon posing behind a counter. Gideon looked like he was forced to be in the picture, he had his arms crossed together and frowned. Robbie looked shocked and a bit frightened, it was clear this picture was taken when he wasn't looking and had caught him by surprise, he was holding a thick book about the civil war in his hands, instead of his shaggy and unkept hair, his hair was neatly combed to the right. He wore a white dress shirt and black slacks, not to mention his face was flawless, no pimple or blemish in sight.
Pacifica was the only one who seemed to be happy in the picture. Holding her fingers in a peace sign while giving a bracy smile.
Wendy was shocked and grabbed the picture out of new Pacifica's hands and brought it closer to her face, she wanted to make sure that her mind wasn't tricking her. But it all seemed pretty legit, the guy in the picture was like a splitting image of Robbie, only, neater? And more presentable then the Robbie she knew.
"Oh man. . . . I know we haven't hung out with each other that much since he started dating Tambry but, seriously? How did this happen!" Wendy exclaimed in shock handing back Pacifica her wallet.
But deep down she kind of felt happy for some reason.
She started to mutter to herself while walking away.
"Okay" Pacifica said. Even she didn't know what was going on anymore, that lady was always so professional, and collected. This was REALLY out of character for her.
"So, I'm just gonna go now and find my chicken" Pacifica excused herself and started walking off in another direction.
"See ya later Pacifica! Mabel waved goodbye and Pacifica waved back.
She sighed in relief, she was glad to be out of that situation. She really didn't know what was going on with everyone today, they were all just so out of character.
"Wait!"
She felt someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her to a halt.
She turned around and saw Dipper looking at her with a mixture of confusion and determination.
Pacifica whirled and smiled at him. Breaking away from his grasp she approached him with a cheeky smile.
"Hey Dipper, love the new look! Why are you hiding your birthmark though? I always thought it looked good on you?" She asked him with a small pout.
Dipper blushed from the closeness between them "W-What is up with you today?" He asked her stuttering a bit.
Pacifica tilted her head in confusion.
"What do you mean? I've always been like this!" She stated proudly.
